What is Coin Ninja?

A powerful bill splitter and change calculator built as a HTML5 WebApp. It allows the organiser of any restaurant bill to accept Bitcoin contributions easily and gives anyone paying in cash the option to have change returned as Bitcoin - making missing out on change a thing of the past.



Why should you use it?

Bitcoin does not function like a corporation with the ability to manage public perception or make the tech easier to obtain. Self serving exchanges do not stand to gain from point-of-sale change-back just yet, so we've created the tools to help you, the community of Bitcoin, to offer frictionless exchange of Fiat<->Bitcoin in common scenarios where bitcoin makes sense.

Our Bill Splitter and Instant Change Return WebApp aims to give current bitcoiners useful features to exchange in-person - providing a positive and convenient first experience to new adopters where you benefit from being able to accept, spend and spread Bitcoin.

The next time you run into the problem of returning exact physical change, save yourself some hassle AND give people with a slight interest in Bitcoin the option to enter the ecosystem through this simple and fair use-case:





Our Mission

We believe small change is going to be one of the main ways the masses first enter the Bitcoin ecosystem since it involves a significant but non-comital amount of money being exchanged instantly among trusted parties. You can now help propel Bitcoin into mass adoption in a way that's convenient for new adopters.

If you have access to BTC and believe in fairness, remember to call upon the Coin Ninja to start giving people back their change in Bitcoin!! (No signup required, only requires verification on withdraw. Think of it as an instant tipbot where you only deposit when you need to and we do the rest).

Merchants want to accept BTC to gain customers for their natural products and services lines, they don't currently seek to manage another potential hassle outside of this if they can avoid it. I think it's a great idea for mass adoption though, just may be that considering expected in-person volumes, regulations, and marketing required to get a system like yours off the ground (which would then only create a new market that could take over their better profits at the online exchange) make it a clear non-priority for big exchanges. So at the moment neither business is all 'that' interested in helping us redistribute digital currency at their expense unfortunately, even though most of us in here accept your logic.

Having said ALL that I still think Bitcoin being obtained at 'Point of Sale' is the inevitable path of the future once the social viewpoint shifts slightly, so I'm working on a project to do something similar: creating a solid web app to split restaurant bills and give change back from CASH into BTC - where anyone can send bitcoin and have friends or customers retrieve funds by phone, email or twitter. http://coinninja.io

If he never gives them away, his holdings don't realise their value, so he was working for that value (not free) which i have no problem with btw and he deserves every satoshi ... My point is he knew the shitstorm would come, and as tech enthusiasts we are playing into his game perfectly, placing a huge value on existing adoption because it is used by others and that is not normal for nerds who normally gravitate to the best engineered and most logical solution.

So with the murky topic of money maybe we aren't they best bunch to analyse merit if we can hardly come to any sort of consensus outside of original top 2. I think giving our seal of approval to something new every week will mean even the coin devs will start to look for other distribution channels to get a truer measure of validation.

Bit of a hypothetical q for those interested, if satoshi was not a greedy little shibe and had spent more years making every coin we see here today predicting multipools/attacks/asics perfectly, then just released them all in one big drop with bitcoin somewhere in there (to give each implementation a more democratic start) which one would reign supreme? or would they all flop?

He obviously ran through this in his mind but went ahead with the most profitable longterm avenue for himself, in the same way you would when choosing which coin to mine, he knew that and hence why we will be blessed with shitcoins vying for attention till the end of time unless they out compete heavily on all fronts.

basically if distribution, release timing/adoption weren't an issue and only judging on the details which one would you back the most?

No one knows what the new doge coin is until there is a new doge coin... To find out you have to ask which coins are really considered ahead of the curve here on a technical, distribution, or marketing standpoint? Fedoracoin will have a tough time pivoting away from their single tiny target market.

google wouldn't use a crappy 3d shadow effect on their logo like that, and besides they would rather release a coin covertly as to avoid any backlash by us, then 'adopt' it based on its community fairness.

No one is forcing the adoption of cryptocurrency so most people are bummed out when they see they have to pay 1000x as much today as a few months ago, humans don't like missing out so that is what we are doing now - experimenting with distribution.

Most efficient would be complete spec of a premined POS voted on and agreeable and trusted by all parties who eventually go into the currency, which actually means a huge foreword and work so they can't claim ignorance... I would think a massive retail company saying that anyone who buys from our stores provides the unique receipt number in 2014 can have that amount in targetcoins would be the most efficient considering their reach and volume. but as superresistant said must be room for unfairness to create the need in the first place as the buyers are the most but no so much to create a general distain for it.

New coins should be finding and hitting their niche market at the right time, but it seems all these coins are targeting this feedback loop for bag holders and that's unsustainable. Nobody needed doge or Bitcoin when they first came out, they got through on allure alone. I think the desire for instant widespread distribution from hungry hashers is dooming the alt-coin market making anything we touch turn to shit before the would-be real market has a chance to experience it. The coins laying low waiting to pounce are the ones to watch.
